RAQUEL SHOES
The best-kept secret among Nîmes tangueros is Raquel Shoes, a shoe boutique that's not a shoe boutique at all, but an exceptional showcase on the outskirts of the city, in a magnificent hacienda (access map on the website). You also have to show your credentials and make an appointment to discover an Argentinean stock, imported by Raquel and Robert. A collection of hand-sewn men's and women's shoes, specially curved for dancing and elegance. Once introduced, you're sure to fall under the spell of both the venue and the masters of ceremony. The couple, one foot in Buenos Aires, the other in Nîmes, talk about their passion with class. Dance teachers, shoe importers and party hosts, their lives revolve around tango. For a pair of shoes, expect to pay between €165 and €200. A pretty smart touch: the shoes are made to measure. So don't be afraid to take a look, big or small, you're bound to find something to make you dream!
